Personally I think this is a screwup on their part. Just a little pushy for a guest.




Here's the link. Located on top of page.

1. Oh, the horror!
The "Star Spangled Banner" was written in English, just like the Bible!

:sarcasm!

Actually, I think it's hard enough to sing that it should not be sung in any language.

2. I think...
When everyone who's complaining can recite all the words in ENGLISH (all four verses!) then I might be willing to listen to them complain.

3. I voted with the awful. I mean really, the only requirement to
becoming a resident of this country is successfully breaking the law? And then if you squawk and scream enough, wave the flag of the country you come from, hell I'll gladly learn how to sing my national anthem in your language.

What a crock. I agree that people who are here LEGALLY be afforded the same rights and protections that citizens have. But this is crazy. When do people think we should call a halt to this shit? Or is the answer never? I have never seen one thread or read on article where all these pro-immigration people have ever made any suggestions as to when enough is enough. Do they think we should just keep letting these people come in at the same rate they are now forever?

What do you think about a Spanish-language version of the 'Star-Spangled Banner'? * 67586 responses
Great. This version reflects the multicultural country the United States has become.

Awful. This version represents a rejection of assimilation into U.S. society.

I'm not sure.

4. It looks like they pulled the plug on the Spanish Anthem poll. ? ? ? ?
It was running about 10 to 1 against. I can't locate it on MSNBC anymore.

Who got to who?
